CEO of Public Lighting Authority is Out

[313WX]

Odis Jones, the CEO of the Detroit Public Lighting Authority, is no longer with the agency.

Apparently, the back story is that he and Duggan got into a huge fight over something, and they couldn't come to an agreement.

I know the primary [[and probably only) complaint a ton of folks have had about the PLA is that they've been taken away poles on residential streets and leaving them too dark [[despite the fact that they're not reducing lights, and even adding more lights, on main thoroughfares).

Jones was very stubborn when it came to addressing this legitimate concern.

I wonder if that had anything to do with their disagreement?

Duggan was probably using nasty four letter words like "WORK".

It astounds me that someone can be hired 2 years ago in what was a bankrupt city and merit a $20,000 bonus a few months ago.

How does that happen?

Someone else came up with an interesting thought.

He may be Darnell Earley's replacement for DPS.

I won't be able to stop laughing if that happens.

This sounds like all you have to do is take a sharp pencil along with a city map and say "we can put one here, and here, and here, and.."
I want this job. I'm currently unemployed. I have no experience in running a public infrastructure agency. I know how to say "I'm sorry" and "that's a great question". I like bonuses. Who do I get hold of to make my pitch?
